Latest issue of CASNR&#039;s &#039;The Agriculturist&#039; available in
print, online

The latest issue of Texas Tech's Department of Agricultural Education and Communications
award-winning magazine, The Agriculturist, is off the press and online. The 46-page, student-led magazine's cover story, Large Dreams for Large Animals by Jenna Holt-Day, focuses on Tech's plans to develop a veterinary school and veterinary medicine doctoral
program in response to student demand and industry needs. Other features include profiles
of Brandon Lipps, chief of staff for the chancellor, and Kevin Brinkley, president and chief executive officer of the Plains Cotton Cooperative Association.
This year's leadership team was directed by Hayley Magness, editor; Kayla Wilkins, associate editor; and Kelsea Jones, advertising manager. Each semester, students enroll in 'ACOM 4310: Development of
Agricultural Publications,' to produce the magazine from start to finish. The course
serves as a capstone where students can utilize the skills they fostered through their
undergraduate coursework.
